Pearl of the Orient

The pulse, the energy, the “East meets West”…you know you are in Hong Kong. For some 20 years, I have frequented the city a lot but my last visit was 12 years ago. It is amazing to see how much this oriental pearl has been polished over time while maintaining its authenticity.

The scenes above and below may look worlds apart, but they are in fact within the same square mile.

Hong Kong is one of my top 3 cities in the world. It has its colourful chaos so it’s exciting. On the other hand, it is sophisticated in its lifestyle and its taste. It is a fitting home for Linde Werdelin, hence our return last week for the opening of our first retailer, Gurus.

We welcomed a select group of 70 guests at the MO bar at the Mandarin Oriental.
